DECEMBER December is that month of the year when some invisible agency gets busy and fills otr erstwhile dwarfed spirits with a feeling of friendliness and good cheir. We write letters to relatives and friends whom we have not thought of since last December; incorrigible children become cherubims and seraphims; catty wives become kittens and dad, as usual, remains the goat. December means giving for every one living, when all of us try with out too much deceit to make shop ping rambles not wholly mere gam bles, yet keeping in mind our ex pected receipts. A dollar for brother two more for dear mother My gracious! that'sthree I have already spent. But still, Auntie Mable, who's able, will surely remember me to that extent. And now Mr. Blicken : I reckon a stick-pin will answer and still not cost any great sum. Then too, if he's meaning to keep me a dreami lg it's time he was using a part of his mon. It really is trying, ' i is arnual gift buying, for you ! 11 agree as I firmly believe, that I tils it's a pleasure to give, in a asure it's fully as pleasurable, I j, to receive. a week during the coming year? And wouldn't they be grateful to the person who was thoupHful enough to send them the p-Pvi ? If you want to make a gift that will be enjoyed during the entire twelve months of the year a sub scription to the Journal is the thing. And th n too, it is not expensive. AN APPROPRIATE GIFT When you cannot find the right kind of a Christmas gift to send to your friends who reside ou t of town, we suggest that you send them a year's subscription to the Journal. In all modesty we can truthfully say that there are many who appreciate and enjoy it fully as much as they would some token that would cost you many times more than the paper. Take, for instance, your friends or relatives in a distant state who once lived in or near Prineville and who retain a fondness for old ac quaintances. Don't you think they would find much satisfaction and get a great deal of pjeasure out of reading a copy of the Journal once FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS V The High School ootball team are the champions of central Oregon. Victorious in every game this sea son, the boys developed under the handling of an expert coach, until hey had the confidence of Jvictors which is a large part of the battle in football as well as other things. No small part of the credit for their showing is due coach Lawson, who is in the oing out ia htbgaf-fo ter what he wants, and getting what he goes out after. The game on Thanksgiving'day in which the high school team sup plemented by a few individuals, in cluding Lawson himself "defeated a team of college stars, all heavy men, on the Bend field, was per haps the most remarkable. We need hardly call your atten tion to our advertisers this week. The limited time you have for buy ing Christmas goods naturally drives you to the advertising columns. It is always so. Whenever you an ticipate the purchase of nything you hunt up the papers or a cata logue, don't you? Yet few people realize or appreciate the dependence they place in these mediums. The advertising columns of the Journal are storehouses of valuable informa tion every week. They carry mes sages of money-saving opportunities that can benefit only those families who make a practice of reading our ads., week after week. . "Once upon a time an editor tried to run a paper to please every body but he was soon deported. Once up on a time a lover told his best girl she wasn't the only girl he ever kissed and she died on the spot, Once upon a time a man invented glasses so people could see their own faults and that man starved to death Another time a preacher told his coiv irretention wh.-.t they deserved and they mobbed him."

NEWS FROM THE SCHOOLS f C. C. H. S. NOTES. With an overflowing score of 490 the Blue and Gold boys de feated Redmond last Saturday and proved themselves the undisputed champions of Central Oregon. The game during the first half was a walk over and the score ending this period was 40 0. The next half Redmond showed "pep" and held the locals to a touch down and a drop kick. The latter was a clean goal from the forty yard line made by captian Brosius. It was an enthusiastic crowd of football players who. in response to an invitation from Miss Sykes, gathered in the. Domestic Science rooms November 24, to partake of a banquet prepared in their honor. Douglas Lawson was guest of honor, and the team one and all ex pressed their appreciation of the un tiring and efficient coaching which they received at his hands. Orville Yancey, Bernard Ramsey, Rader Prewet and Fred Rice in the order in which they are named, are those who were chosen to represent the C. C. H. S. in the State Debat ing League, composed of the prin ciple high schools of Oregon. Misses Glennie McBain and Neva Weigand spent their Hianksgiving vacation at their homes inLamonta. Ernest Estes was unable to play the last two football games due to an injury received in practice. Robret Lister of Paulina was a C. C. H. S. visitor last Wednesday. "STOP THEIF" COMEDY GEM. Two kleptomaniacs and two real crooks and a double wedding are responsible for an hour and a half of fun and laughter in the photo play "Stop Theif" which is to be shown Friday evening, December 3, at the Lyric Theatre. , With this combination, all sort of weird and mysterious things begin to happen, and humor and amusing prevail from start to finish of its five reels of film.
